If I change the Administrator password back to the original one and try to publish using it everything works fine again. So what am I missing? Am I supposed to do something in IIS after changing the password?

Check your Web Deploy rules to make sure that none of them are using the same administer account. Use the Management Service Delegation icon from IIS Manager at the server level. Also confirm that your app pool isn't using your administrator account.
